My Stolen LIfe

The Shift

No sooner I’m parked orders are being sent to my phone, guess their having a part today and need everything done. Great! Yay me! No one pays me any mind once I defended myself last year because I broke one boys’ arm another’s leg and a girl’s nose. I did beat and my arm broken for that also locked in the dungeon for a few weeks. Since then its been like in just invisible. I really don’t mind at all. Ill be gone soon enough, one more year of saving maybe less if I’m lucky. Sometimes I really miss my family and feel extra lonely, but I shake that off when it comes to this pack, I always have Shay if I need to really talk to someone. ‘that’s right girl we have each other.’ It took all day to make the food and set up the backyard with no help at all. Its 9pm and I’m finally done, before anyone could give me anymore orders I collect my pay and wrap a plate to go. I got to leave before the guest come anyway. As I head to my truck, I get the strangest feeling someone is watching me. ‘do you feel that Shay?’ ‘yes, walk faster.’ Once I’m in the safety of the truck I do sneak a peek of my surrounding and see no one, hmmmm. ‘must be just our change is getting close.’ ‘I don’t know Roxy just get home.’  So, I drive home in good time, it’s a good 30min drive, no one can fallow just walking unless they shift but members are forbidden to come near my area, Alpha’s order. There is a border patrol, but they patrol away from my home like I’m my own land. Since I don’t smell of the pack when they get attacks, they go right by my house and I just send a text letting him know. Stupid huh? I should just let them be on their own like they do me. At least I don’t have that feeling of being watched when I pull into the garage, locking everything up before heading inside. ‘you should eat Roxy it’s getting late and tonight we will shift, so you need strength. Without the support of a pack it will be more painful.’ ‘thank you, Shay!’ hearing this I’m so excited, as I sit down to eat. I remember when Jr shifted, watching his pain until the pack showed up circling him like the were taking him pain too. Not me ill be on my own. ‘they are with us in spirit Roxy! I know it.’ ‘I know, I just miss them so much.’ ‘me too’ A lone tear slips from my eye. Once I’m finished eating and cleaning up, time to take a hot bath mom used to say it helps relax for your first shift. Well any shift, using a relaxing bath salt in my hot bath I’m so relaxed I could pass out. ‘Rox, its time head outside.’ ‘o shoot I’m sorry I was loving the bath.’ ‘me too but I feel the moon calling me out.’ so I rush and wrap in a towel no need to get dressed and ruin clothes. Outside my back yard is a privacy fence where ill be somewhat safe dad put it up when he knew I wasn’t safe from the pack. Before the towel hits the ground, my body is on fire spreading through my body once relaxed muscles are now contracting and adjusting. I can’t breathe from all the pain; my bones start to break each at different times to re shift holding in my cries. I squeeze my eyes shut. Listening to the shifting of my limbs. ‘I can’t do it Shay! It hurts so much!’  falling to my side. ‘hold on Rox we are almost one.’ My skin burns from hair coming out, I don’t know how long I laid there shacking from the pain. ‘open your eyes Rox! Look at us.’
